Instead of doing something so vulgar as taking people around his house or goofing off for the internet, Commissioner Gordon himself went thoroughly leftfield: reading out the plot synopsis of a particularly depraved Jersey Shore episode on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show.

The infamous (and wildly popular) reality TV show has gone on to inspire Geordie Shore and The Only Way Is Essex, with its breakout star Snooki publishing a book and attempting to start a Jordan-like business empire.
